Smokin' Hereford BBQ

"Our sever today was an outstanding young man. Great job! Even surprised my husband with an ice cream sundae for his birthday."

"We took an hour road trip just to eat here. Very clean and fun atmosphere. The service was top notch and exactly what you would want. We were greeted and seated immediately. The menu was easy to read with some pictures. Good variety and decent prices too. We ordered cheese curds, burnt ends platter, and the pulled pork sandwich. (Baked beans, grandma's potato salad, and beer battered French fries along with cornbread were our sides) Everything was very hot and presented nicely. The portions were much larger than expected. I immediately dropped a bunch of fries on the cheese curd plate for my husband. I loved that they served ranch with my fries. The burnt ends had a different sauce than the one served with the pulled pork. We both preferred the sweeter flavor of the other sauce. Personal preference. The burnt ends weren't what you would normally get, but were delicious. They reminded me of deep fried pork chop bites, but my husband thought they were more like a delicious smoked pork belly. Either way, they were hot and yummy and you could see the smoke ring. The pulled pork was tender and juicy. The baked beans were spicy and one of our faves. The fries were cooked to perfection and the potato salad was decent. I think food is always based on personal flavor preferences. I would definitely eat here again. The waitress was sweet and very attentive. I loved the decor of the entire restaurant. Excellent parking with ramp and stairs to get inside. Plenty of tables with lots of space between. I wish we had restaurants like this in Sioux City. -"

"This is the best place to eat in Iowa by far hands down. The staff is the absolute best there is. They are always friendly and willing to go above and beyond to make the experience perfect. Nancy is a perfect woman who bleeds the Herford through and through."

"Great service. Portions were much smaller than in years past, so I was sad that I was so hungry. Burnt Ends were a small portion of 1/2" cubes of not-so-burnt pork cubes. The spicy Mac and Spicy Cold Slaw were GREAT! Wish I'd ordered 2 servings of each, as they were small. It was busy. Service was attentive. Do not go into the bathroom, it's an ice box."

"Great little joint. Awesome atmosphere and friendly staff. Food is top notch. Had a group of 6 and we hit the appies, try the combo beast platter, the mains and desert. Had the brisket platter, just the right amount of smoke, spicy Mac n cheese was decent as was the potato salad. Southern pie aka chess pie was solid too."
